Taking Office

Coming back to his senses, Bai Yue carefully examined the changes in his body once more. Because he had simultaneously broken through to the Planet Level as both a Martial Artist and a Mental Master, this breakthrough had been an enormous leap forward.

Compared to those who broke through along a single path, he was undoubtedly far stronger!

When a Martial Artist broke through to the Planet Level, it was not merely an enhancement in every aspect. Certain special abilities would also emerge, which was why Martial Artists could catch up to Mental Masters at the Planet Level.

There were all kinds of special abilities in the universe, but they were all classified into eight attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.

Because each person's physique and soul differed, the cosmic energy they normally absorbed had different affinities. The Gene Energy formed was also different, so the special abilities awakened upon a Martial Artist's breakthrough would differ as well.

Bai Yue had awakened the earth-element "Gravity Domain," which allowed him to adjust gravity within a certain range. It was a fairly good ability. He could reduce his own gravity to increase his movement speed, increase gravity to restrain opponents, or increase the gravity of his weapon when attacking to boost its power.

Isn't this a kind of domain? Bai Yue pondered inwardly.

It could indeed be considered a type of domain, but as a special ability, although Bai Yue could use it, he knew how to use it without understanding why it worked. Perhaps only when he figured that out could it be considered a domain truly under his control.

Three days later, in the Wilderness Area outside Hongning Base City, a Smart Fighter hovered in the air. The land below looked as though it had been ravaged by a Category Eight hurricane. Soil from deep underground had been churned up, and massive trees lay toppled in every direction.

A lightning-like figure wielding a longsaber crackling with electricity slashed toward Bai Yue. As though using Teleportation, he arrived before Bai Yue in an instant.

Yet when he was still a meter away, Thunder God seemed to suddenly have a mountain weighing on his back. His originally astonishing speed slowed at once, and Bai Yue easily blocked him with the Alloy Staff in his hands.

Power gathered at the tip of the staff. Bai Yue gripped the Alloy Staff tightly with both hands and thrust it forward at Thunder God's chest. In that flash of lightning, the longsaber swept across Thunder God's chest, blocking the fatal strike.

Although he had received the blow, Thunder God was still sent flying backward.

How could Bai Yue possibly let such an opportunity go? He pushed off with his feet and chased after him, swinging his staff down from above. One strike pressed down upon heaven and earth. His special ability activated, bolstered by Mental Power, making the blow terrifyingly powerful. Even space itself seemed about to collapse beneath it.

Facing this earth-shaking attack, Thunder God did not panic. Instead, he revealed an appreciative smile. Since the Great Nirvana Era, apart from Hong, no one on Earth had been able to contend with him. Now that he had such an outstanding opponent, he felt a measure of comfort.

After the situation stabilized following the Great Nirvana Era, Thunder God and Hong had respectively founded Limit Martial Hall and Thunder Martial Hall. Their original intention had been to cultivate more and stronger Martial Artists.

The charged longsaber swept upward, striking first despite being launched later as it collided with the descending staff. Sparks scattered in all directions, and shockwaves spread outward from the point of impact. The air was compressed into white waves of vapor.

Both of them were instantly sent flying backward. The miniature planetary force field within Bai Yue spread out, and his special ability activated. He stabilized himself in a short time and looked up, only to find that Thunder God had already regained his footing.

"That is enough sparring. Bai Yue still has to take office as the sixth Inspector of my Limit Martial Hall this afternoon." Hong's voice came from the hatch of the Smart Fighter.

Yes, today was the day Bai Yue would become the sixth Inspector of Limit Martial Hall. Preparations for the ceremony had actually been made last time, but he had not truly broken through to the Planet Level then, so it had been postponed. After his breakthrough, he naturally did not hide it from others and told Hong directly, which led to this afternoon's ceremony.

Over the past three days, Bai Yue had not been idle. He had researched some uses for Creation, Dao Fruit's newly emerged ability.

He could now use Creation to produce some ordinary materials, such as water and iron. As for other substances, he had not had enough time to study them one by one and could not yet create them.

The greatest use he had discovered these past few days was in his own cultivation. He used this ability to create energy identical to his own Gene Energy and Mental Power, then absorbed it himself. Thus, although only three days had passed, he had risen another step at the Planet Level. Both his Gene Energy and Mental Power had reached the second stage of the Planet Level.

He had tested it. Dao Fruit was like a well; if he wanted it to produce an amount of energy equal to the Gene Energy currently in his body, it took about an hour.

That did not mean his strength would double every hour. After all, his body also needed time to grow. But with an abundant supply of energy, that process had been accelerated countless times.

After his Gene Energy and Mental Power broke through to the second stage of the Planet Level, he had gone to spar with Hong. Naturally, he had been thoroughly beaten. Hong, who had mastered a domain, was invincible at the Planet Level.

Under the suppression of Hong's domain, Bai Yue's many methods were powerless against him, even though he possessed the "Gravity Domain," something close to a domain.

Only after experiencing Hong's domain did he understand just how vast the gap was! It was a feeling of being suppressed from every direction without a single blind spot. His movements were restricted, his vision obstructed, while the domain's Master knew every move he made like the back of his hand.

Thunder God had been invited today to attend the ceremony for Bai Yue taking office as Inspector. Once he arrived, he could not suppress the itch in his hands and had dragged Bai Yue to the Wilderness Area early in the morning.

"Let's go. The venue is almost ready," Hong said from beside them.

The grand ceremony for taking office as Inspector would be broadcast live starting at two in the afternoon. Whether for Limit Martial Hall or the major powers around the world, it was a major event. The appointment would be announced publicly, though in truth, this so-called public announcement was only public to the upper echelons. Ordinary people would certainly know little about it.

"Alright, let's go." Bai Yue and Thunder God did not delay either. After gathering their belongings, they flew into the Smart Fighter and prepared to return for the ceremony.

At exactly two in the afternoon, in the large conference room at the global headquarters of Limit Martial Hall, the camera focused on Hong, Thunder God, and the Third Speaker of War God Palace, Mohanderson, among others seated in the front rows as the host introduced them.

As the camera continued to move closer, one influential figure after another flashed across the screen.

"The last person we wish to introduce is Councilor Bai Yue, who will be taking office as an Inspector of the global Limit Martial Hall." The holographic projection equipment onstage projected Bai Yue's image at the proper moment.

After breaking through to the Planet Level a few days earlier, his rank within War God Palace had automatically changed to Councilor.

"Although I've become a Councilor, this is still my first time meeting so many Councilors," Bai Yue said softly.

"Haha, it is also because you are becoming an Inspector this time. Unless they have important matters to handle, the many Councilors and Speakers will all attend. It is a rare gathering," Liu He, seated beside him, said with a quiet laugh.

Bai Yue nodded to show that he understood.

Later in the inauguration ceremony, Limit Martial Hall also invited his former instructors and his companions from Falcon Squad to speak about his experiences. In short, everything was positive, intended to encourage those watching to cultivate diligently.

It was all meant to portray a perfect genius Martial Artist for people to emulate.

After several song and dance performances concluded, the Inspector inauguration ceremony drew close to its end.
